If someone asked you to name the top challenge presented by urbanization and our escalating world population, what would you say? One answer could be: the ever-increasing need for energy – which is one of the most basic dilemmas of modern life. But with the right approach, we can turn this challenge into an opportunity.
Wind energy will help provide 30% of our Turnhout, Belgium manufacturing plant electricity needs, ensuring a sustainable environment. We recently installed our first wind turbine that will help power our Performance Tapes and Vancive Medical Technologies manufacturing plant’s electricity needs. Electricity for process manufacturing can account for a substantial portion of a factory’s energy budget, not to mention contributing to CO2 emissions.
In the chronicles of Great Britain’s energy industry, 2017 will go down as a significant year. At a time already characterized by change and uncertainty, two events stand out. One signals a break with the past; the other suggests the shape of things to come.

Since 2011, Laverstoke Mill has been home to one of the most recognisable of gins, Bombay Sapphire.
Since the gin distillery took up residence, the most striking addition to this quiet Victorian site has been the two intertwining glasshouses, designed by Thomas Heatherwick’s studio. Behind these picturesque scenes though lies the heart of Laverstoke; the ecological and sustainability emphasis that is key to the site. A biomass boiler uses by-products from the distillation to provide heat and hot water; through this, coupled with a photovoltaic array and a hydro-electric turbine on the river, up to 85 per cent of the site’s power is self-generated to reduce its carbon footprint.
“Our 144,000 employees come to work every day with a passion for green growth. Some of them work to design innovative low-carbon technologies, energy efficient architectures, or circular business models. Others meet customers each day, support their resource productivity ambitions, and enable their journey towards zero emissions. Given this, we could not do less than align with this passion in the way we power our own sites and operations.
